Cyberpunk: 2075.

Chapter 151 10. Seven-fold gap, the advantage is mine
Looking at the flashing artificial eye in Oliver's eyes, V had obviously never seen this type of eye in real life. He looked at it a few more times out of curiosity, and then roughly recognized the model from the changing color.

"The recently launched Kirusi Special Color Model. I remember that this prosthetic eye has a built-in shielding camera and scanning function, as well as the latest clear image zoom technology."

"You are very knowledgeable. Are you paying attention to this?"

While scanning the camp, Oliver didn't mind chatting with V, who seemed to be a bit familiar with him. "It's not the top model among the ones released, but it's one that I like very much."

"I guess I am paying attention to it. After all, it is a well-known brand."

V, who seemed to be particularly knowledgeable about technical equipment, chatted with Oliver for a while before Oliver scanned a special location.

"We found a suspicious spot. There is a cave on the western edge of the camp. There is a special heat source in it. Even at this critical moment of transfer, the people over there did not move at all. I suspect that this may be where the target is."

"Have you confirmed how many people there are?"

Carl came over.

"During the scan, we were able to confirm the life signals of forty-two people, but we don't know how many people are inside the cave. The heat source over there is interfering with the signal."

"Forty-two people? Got it."

Carl looked at V.

"drop."

"This deal is closed."

V was a little confused when he found out that he had been sent 15,000 euros again during his communication with Carl.

“Isn’t this job not over yet?”

"what?"

What does it mean that it’s not over yet?
Isn’t this mission very simple? V and his team find the traces of the night-wandering ghosts, bring them to the place, and then they solve the problem.

Looking at Carl's puzzled face, V also had a puzzled expression.

"You said you'd give me 15,000 euros. You said this before. I'm not surprised you gave me money, but the order hasn't been settled yet. Haven't we dealt with the group of people down there yet? Can't we help you rescue the people?"

"what?"

Jack and Oliver, who had just finished scanning the camp, also turned around and asked, "Are you going to help us get rid of the night-wandering ghosts and save people?"

"if not?"

V's two fellow homeless people came over with their weapons from the car. V was quite confused by the three people's surprise: "You paid us 30,000 euros, didn't you ask us to save people? Now that we've paid, don't you want us to work?"

What a strange city dweller.

This is what V is thinking now.

What a strange wanderer.

This is what Carl and the other two people think, as they have been soaked in Night City.

You get what you pay for. The three mercenaries who have been mercenaries for a while have almost figured this out. In other words, they do a certain amount of work for a certain amount of money, absolutely no more, and absolutely no less. But what is going on this time?

Thirty thousand euros, for Carl and his men, was simply a sum of money for V and his men to find the night-wandering ghost and help lead the way. But for V's people, leading the way to find someone was just a side job, a small additional task in the commission. The real mission for so much money must be to help save people. There is no doubt about this. As for why the commission only mentioned finding the night-wandering ghost, that is the next thing. Needless to say, finding the night-wandering ghost and other evil land scum, isn't it just to fight? The difference in concepts between the two sides caused the team, which was originally prepared to have three people, to have three more living forces inexplicably join.

"Fortunately you are not mercenaries, otherwise you would definitely be snatched up by those middlemen."

Carl sighed. He just wanted to find a group of trackers who were capable of finding the traces of night-wandering ghosts. He didn't expect that tracking was just a supplement, and the real service was the thugs who came to his door.

Carl thought that since the money was high, the easy work must not be real work. As the employee, he should think about the employer and do harder work for him. This idea, Carl could only say.
What exactly is this ultimate enemy?

Looking at the guy holding the Nova revolver with V ready, Carl felt that this guy might do it for a few thousand euros from the middleman.

After thinking for a while, Carl walked to the back of the pickup truck they were riding in and opened the trunk.

I had originally thought that V and the others would leave after completing the mission, and I hadn't thought of paying them anything. However, since they were willing to help, it would be unreasonable not to give them some extra compensation.

Give them extra money, and explain to these wanderers that 30,000 Euros is not a lot for a mercenary team, and it is really too much trouble to pay for the guide, so it is better to take something useful as a reward.

"Since you're going to go up, come over and change your equipment."

Carl called out to V and his two fellow Rangers, "It's too inefficient to hold the Nova revolvers. Consider these as gifts to you. Use these."

As he spoke, Carl threw over the storage equipment he brought with him before going out this time.

The Copperhead assault rifle, the Crusher shotgun, and the Saratoga submachine gun, these weapons that Carl obtained in his previous mission were caught by the three wanderers, and Carl threw bullets at them.

"Four base bullets for each firearm should be enough."

Finally, after closing the door of the pickup truck, Carl pulled the slide of the Night Gun to make sure there would be no problem with firing.

"Saratoga submachine gun, this is a good product." "Crusher shotgun, I think this thing costs more than 1,000 Euros."

While his companions were checking the guns in surprise, V, who was holding the Copperhead assault rifle, didn't have any special thoughts about the gun given by Carl, because he had seen a lot of this kind of gun in his family, but the Nova revolver was enough for him normally, so he didn't think of changing it.

"Well, let's go through the process first."

After making sure they had all checked their weapons, Carl said:

"The target should be in the cave to the west of the camp. We need to pay special attention there. When these night-wandering ghosts have almost moved out of the camp and are about to start moving the people in the cave, we will take action. At that time, a group of people will eliminate the guards at the entrance of the cave and enter the cave to grab the target.

A group of people will be outside to block the night ghosts that have reacted, to prevent them from being cut off and trapped in the cave. After the night ghosts surround that area of ​​the cave, another group of people will attack from behind, and then the people inside will cooperate to attack from both sides.

Carl looked around at the five people in the field except him: "In layman's terms, two people go into the hole to grab the target, two people guard the back road at the door, and two people are outside to monitor the situation and provide support."

Starting from the outside, the target may be eliminated by the night ghosts. If everyone goes in together, they will be blocked in the cave and will die. Two people will go into the cave and one will be at the door. The night ghosts with more people can surround the area and shoot them to confine them to the cave and prevent them from coming out.

In fact, Carl had considered having the three of them activate the prosthesis to kill the nightwalker, but the rejection period of the new prosthesis ordered by Old Wei has not yet passed. Oliver and Jack have already used Swanwestin and the violent type today. It is not clear whether there will be any problems if they activate the prosthesis at a high frequency on the second day after the operation. Therefore, they can only proceed in a safe way by dividing into three groups.

This was also Carl's plan at the beginning, but at that time there was only one person in each group, which was indeed not very safe. It must be said that with the addition of V and his companions, at least in terms of the number of people, each group has doubled.

Six people faced forty-two night-wandering ghosts.
One person only needs to face seven people.

The advantage is simply in my hands.
